When Jenna Misciascio heard she could win $250 for making a short video, she jumped at the chance.
Misciascio is a recent graduate of Stockton, where she minored in cannabis studies. She used her knowledge of the industry to make a promotional video highlighting Shamong’s efforts to become a cannabis hub and won a contest created by Deputy Mayor Michael DiCroce.
“I wanted to find a way that we could involve local college students in promoting Shamong Township as a business friendly place,” Di Croce said. “I think Jenna’s a very talented young lady. She’s really knowledgeable about the cannabis industry and I think I’m gonna learn a lot from her.”
Misciascio’s minute-long video takes viewers through Shamong’s incentives for businesses to put down (cannabis) roots in the township. It cites the township’s ample farm land and business resources.
“Shamong is going to be ideal for growers,” Misciascio noted. “I don’t think it’s going to take much for them to get there.”
